Morgan County deputies arrest three people in crack down on drug dealers

SOMERVILLE, Alabama - The Morgan County Drug Task Force arrested three people on drug charges Wednesday in its campaign to crack down on drug dealers, WHNT News 19 reported.

Morgan County Sheriff Ana Franklin accompanied members of the task force as they served search warrants on people from whom investigators said they have bought drugs repeatedly, the station reported.

They found pills, marijuana, guns and cash a short distance from a school on Alabama 36 near here.

"We're hoping that it's a trickle-down effect. If we start with the dealers, we can get to the users and then we can maybe prevent the thefts and the other offshoot crimes that happen," Franklin told the station.
